商品簡介
Presumably keeping pace with editions of the mother volume, Stahl (psychiatry, U. of California-San Diego) updates the practical supplement to his Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology, which focused on mechanisms of action and how psychotropic drugs work on receptors and enzymes in the brain. This prescriber's guide provides practical information on how to use these drugs in clinical practice. For each drug, information in provided in a standard format on therapeutics, side effects, dosing and use, special populations, and the art of psychopharmacology. Key references follow. Colored backgrounds facilitate quick reference, as do colorful icons signaling such features as anti-convulsant, medical food, sedative-hypnotic, serotonin-dopamine antagonist, stimulant, tips based on Stahl's own experience, and use during pregnancy. Previous editions were published in 2005,2006, and 2009. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
